The paintings of Vasily Ivanovich Surikov (1848?1916), which have long become classics - "The Morning of the Streltsy Execution", "Menshikov in Berezov", "Boyarynya Morozova", "The Taking of the Snow Town", "Yermak's Conquest of Siberia", "Suvorov's Crossing of the Alps", "Stepan Razin" - excite to this day, causing controversy about the fate of the Fatherland, its great men and great rebels. Surikov's painting, bright in execution, large-scale in thought, folk in character, was appreciated both before the revolution and after, and will always be appreciated - the artist raised eternal themes and solved them at the level of eternity, not minute politics, fashion or circle. Coming from an old Cossack family of Siberian pioneers, he was a man of "wide palette" - persistent, risky, businesslike, mischievous, brutal, sentimental, stingy, generous, but never petty! And this explains a lot in his professional success. The author of the book, Siberian art historian T. Yasnikova, does not relegate the daily life of the artist in the background - this gives the biography of the volume and vividness, even if other author's opinions and views are very polemical. It is for the reader to judge.
